FAQs
Do you offer wing rentals?
We do not offer rentals due to insurance and safety issues. However, we are able to allow use of our gear under the supervision of an instructor. Please contact us for more info.
Do I need to take a lesson to learn how to wing foil?
While wing foiling is considered a more adaptable alternative to kiteboarding, there are still risks involved. Not only will taking a lesson be a safe route, you'll also likely progress faster with an experienced instructor.
Can I book multiple wing foil lessons in a week?
If you're here traveling or are looking to expedite your progression, having multiple lessons is a great route. Please contact us to arrange your lesson!
Do you really need an eFoil lesson?
If you don't have experience riding a foil, we find that this is the easiest path to progressing into wing foiling. wing foiling isn't typically picked up in just a couple of hours, so getting enough experience before your wing foil lesson is critical!
When can I book a wing foil lesson?
Our lesson bookings normally open around mid-April but are subject to weather.
Does your location have a spot where I can store my keys?
Yes, we offer a place for your personal belongings! No need to leave them in your car or on the beach.
